"It's Not for Everyone"

[OldKingClancy]

The Uncharted Trilogy.

I like the games, I think the games looks incredible, the cinematic feel is outstanding and the characters well written and well acted.

But they are so frustrating and so controler snapping difficult that it takes any and all enjoyment I may have been having away. They're good games but they are nowhere near the perfect ratings they've been getting.

I wrote a blog about it on another site. http://www.moviefancentral.com/oldkingclancy/blogs/uncharted---a-first-hand-account

The RTS games made by Paradox. They have one hell of a learning curve, but I love em.

Cold showers for me. Nothing's better than walking still half asleep into one of those babies. Instant wake up call, on-the-fly.
And I just like cold in general, so that might be it.

Like: Nightcore, for those who don't know it is a style of remixing songs to increase pitch..., tempo..., and some other audio jargon that I don't understand, basically remix any song to sound like it could be an anime opening theme. I don't know why I like it, It is just so addictive. Although I can understand that if you listen to a favorite song you may have the reaction of it being ruined.

Dislike: What I call "gangster games", by which I mean GTA, Saints Row 1 and 2, and some others that may be similar. As a person that likes story in my games I feel that any good story in these game is wasted because a gangster protagonist, I see, is only looking forward to dying in a ditch somewhere later. This only applies to modern gangsters like GTA ans Saints Row 1&2 since the prohibition gangsters have a cool kind of code of honor and tradition that makes them interesting, I specify Saints Row 1 & 2 because what some people see as a decline of the series I see as an improvement going to the most insane level of gags and world, that actually makes it more like being a comic book villain rather than a street thug.

Professional Wrestling. Yea, I'm a smark. I get it. It's a performance, and it's popular with kids. Most agree that the WWE isn't as good at it used to be, but I still like it. I am a little tired of the ridicule at work though when the subject comes up. Most of my coworkers say the same thing: "I liked it when I was like.. 10. But now? HA!" But I can deal with that.

It's when people's only argument against it is "It's fake, therefore it's dumb." If that's really all you can say about it, then I'm afraid you just don't get it, and I can't explain it you. That's fine, too. You don't have to get it. It's not for everyone. But I would hope you don't think less of those who like it, because if so, you're kind of a dick.

I think Vince MacMahon said it best: "To those who believe in the beauty of professional wrestling, nothing needs to be said. For those who don't appreciate wrestling, nothing could be said to change their minds."

Also a smark in my late twenties, also follow it religiously, also getting really tired of...everything you just said.

I liked Civ III a lot despite the fact many think it was one of the worst. (not really sure why, it was a great upgrade from Civ II)

 

[Theminimanx]

Visual novels. You get to read a book with images, voice acting and music, enhancing the atmosphere.
Still, I can understand why some people don't like having to sit behind a pc clicking through all the text. Now if only they would start releasing tablet versions, you'd have the best of both worlds.

 

[Ghostshark]

I enjoy techno music. I know it's not for everyone, but it lifts my spirits quite a bit.

 

[Raikas]

I think there are few foods that can't be improved by throwing some Madras Powder in with the sauce. I enjoy listening to EBM with cookie monster vocals. I think endurance races are fun. And I enjoyed the "everyone is crazy" element of Dragon Age 2.

 

[Yopaz]

Well apparently black coffee, whenever I order it people insist I have milk with it. Then when I tell them I don't like it with milk in they look at me like I have two heads.

Waitwaitwaitwaitwait.... Liking black coffee is strange? I don't think I know anyone who drinks coffee with milk unless they are drinking a rare cappuccino. Coffee should taste coffee and that's final.

OT: Monster Hunter I guess. Not a massive hit outside of Japan, but dang, I am hooked.

 

[Ariyura]

I love Sailor Moon, oh the squeaky cry baby and her several long seasons and spin offs. I love them. Even though I'm almost twice as old as I was when I first started watching it. And they're making a new anime! I think I died and gone to anime heaven.

 

[Edguy]

Transformers 2. By all records, it's horrible, but I can't really get my head around why it's labeled as the worst of the bunch. They are all bad enough that no care should be given to plot and character interaction, and T2 has the best fight scenes(The forest scene, seriously), so.. The third one was just a mess, and way too long for a movie without an interesting plot.

 

[dalek sec]

Fat white chicks in bikinis. Yup i'm one of those chubby chasers , stop staring .

You and me both, brother. Except I like all colors of women with junk in the trunk.

Likewise, love me a girl with some junk in her trunk or atleast some meat on her bones. Same as Queen Michael, all colors of women are fine by me. A qoute I saw someplace summed it up perfectly for me: "Dogs like bones, men like meat." Glad to know I'm not alone on this subject.

 

[TheTim]

This i like that aren't for everyone: Country music, Copious amounts of Whiskey, Chewing Tobacco and Dip, Football, Duck Dynasty, Hunting, pokemon, xbox

Things that aren't for me: Being metrosexual, feminizing myself in any way, Driving Slow, Being a good little sheep. One night stands, fake boobs,

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

Liking things that don't really go together.
Like I play the Sims 3 but also Dark Souls and enjoy both I've had people say that's strange.

I guess also celebrities is one for me. I don't really enthuse over anyone unless they impress me in some way and I certainly wouldn't be one of those screaming girls you see at concerts or red carpet events. Unless someone has superpowers I really don't see a reason to treat them like they are different.

I like WoW and many mainstream games. I hate 'retro' indie games even though I should be that target market as someone who grew up on the Amiga and the first PC I purchased for myself was a 486.

I also I like kids and think modern American cartoons are usually better than the ones I grew up with and often have better story lines than anime. I also think TV is better than it ever has been thanks to a huge variety of options(I do hate most reality shows as everyone else claims to). If I didn't vote for Gary Johnson I would have voted for Mitt Romney and generally been happy with my vote.

I am not the average escapist.

I voted Gary Johnson too, and I completely agree about the kids cartoons. Maybe you're more average than you think.

 

[Jamous]

I don't think there's anything I like that's particularly controversial. Certainly nothing springs to mind.
Dislikes, however? There's a big one that many people are surprised to hear: I'm teetotal by choice. I just can't stand the taste of alcohol and yes I -can- taste the alcohol, no matter what you might think. I've tried almost everything I've been offered but have found nothing I like.

 

[AlbertoDeSanta]

Personally like: D&D, Much like OP. But for different reasons. I'm essentially the Goto DM for our group. Never ever been a player, but have been the DM numerous times in the past two years.

Personally Dislike: Internet Memes at the moment. They just suck.

 

[Shock and Awe]

Shooting, I personally love it; pistols more then anything. However as one may guess many people don't quite care for the hobby.

 

[Sewer Rat]

Like
Folk Metal, I know it's not for everyone, but I love it.

Spoiler: Example

Nerdy Girls, probably not going to be that uncommon here.

Bad Movies, IE The Room, Troll 2.

Tabletop 40k, love mah nids.

Fire Emblem series.

Dislike
Drinking/Drug Parties: If I'm going to have a good time I damn well want to remember it the next morning, and I do not consider needing to drive a group of drunk friends home as the one sober guy to make for the fun times.

The Beatles: *dodges bottle* now hear me out, I respect them for what they did and for starting the rock and roll movement as we know it, but I just feel like they just were not that good compared to bands that came later and have just become elevator music for lack of a better term.

Moviebob: Smug, nitpicking, and overall unlikable imho.

Diablo 3:... I don't get it.
